Anyone compiling a collection of the ultimate collection of rock albums has to include this 1977 disc. I can still remember hearing this for the first time and being amazed that bands played like that. The foul language was shocking, especially the rant at the end of …

First of all….you need to realize that Metallica has LOST their flame a LOOOONG time ago. I would speculate that it was during their BLACK album that their flame went out. They are a piss poor representation of American Metal, and they do not deserve all the praise that …

Progressive rock is really one of the most diverse sub genres of rock, and easily among my favorites. The way that progressive rock seems always toy with time signatures and ambient sounds keeps the music fresh for me, even when listening to songs that I have heard hundreds of …

Overview —“ Surfing With The Alien, the second album released by Joe Satriani, is another of Satriani’s albums to be completely instrumental and driven primarily by his guitar work. One thing that I always liked about Satriani is that he wasn’t really one of the shredders who just played …

After the very successful album War, released in 1983, U2 have managed to release another great record so quickly afterwards. I think that this album, The Unforgettable Fire was an album which escalated their skill and level as musicians. I think that this 1984 album demonstrated how much and …
